liberty in that part of Hayti lately under
the control of Christophe, is said to be pro-
ducing the most happy effects. Letters
thence speak ofthe freedom which is eu-
joved, and the republican justice, which 1s
practised. President Boyer, we understand
has already restored certain property un-
justly held by the king—and encourage-
ment is given that more extensive restora
tions may take place.
Perhaps it 1s not unreasonable to hope
that the American claims, once urged by
our government ob Christophe, may now
be renewed with success.
In the present good understanding, one
the ports of Hayti might be complimented
1s the station, whence to cruize, of a frig-
ate employed to intercept the slave yessels
if American, going from Africa to the Isl-
and of Cuba.

Charleston Jan. 11.—Captain Wise, of
the brig Essex, arrived yesterday from Pori-
au-Prince, informs us that President Boyer
arrived at that place Irom Cape Henry,
three days before he sailed, having an army
of sixteen tnousand men, besides a compa:
ny of the life-guards of the late king Chris-
tophe. All business was suspended to
give place to rejoicings, &c.~the city had
been illuminated for three nights preceding
the sailing of the Essex.

St. DominGo.—Accounts are received
by an arrival at Boston from St. Domingo
of the discovery of an extensive and deep-
faid plot, by the blacks ot that place, to
massacre the whites and mulattoes, and
pillage the city. The discovery was made
but afew hours previous to the one fixed
on for carrying their horrid project into
execution, and the ringleaders were seized
and are imprisoned. This conspiracy
amounted, it is said, to upwards of 5000
blacks, all armed. On the first alarm be-
ing givenol their intentions, the inhabitants
were panic struck, and flew on board
the shipping in port for safety. N.Y. &, P,

of three thousand dollars each.

RECIPE.
Suppose your Ham to weigh 181b,
Take 1 oz. salt petre,
1 pint of fine salt, and
1 pint of molasses—
Heat them well, and then rub on the
mixture, as hot as possible, with the flat
of the hand or a hard brush—use no water.
Hams must be cut below the joint.
Rub over the mixture, heated, every oth-
er day for four weeks, and on every day
for three weeks, keeping the legs down—
then hang them up in the same position,
without smoking, by which means the jui-
ces are preserved.
